Forthcoming Art Courses

We have just secured a fantastic venue for what promises to be a magical watercolour painting course, based over the weekend of the 3rd-6th October 2014. Barningham Hall will be the location, one of Norfolk's finest country houses set withinn its own beautiful grounds. The time of year and location are set to make the weekend a feast of watercolour painting opportunities, wildlife and wonderful local hospitality.

About the Artist

Darren Woodhead is a pure field painter based in East Lothian, Scotland. A Graduate of the Royal College of Art, he works direct in brush and watercolour outside: there is no studio. Concentrating on the natural world, his paintings are atmospheres, surroundings depicting birds, landscapes, butterflies and mammals - his local Scottish wildlife, as well as expeditions worldwide. His paintings are his diaries, encompassing energy, life, spontaneity and movement and using the natural white of the paper.

He has recently completed a commission for HRH The Duke of Edinburgh's 90th birthday as well as been invited by Simon King to be part of the Wildlife Whisperer website. He was also invited to demonstrate his painting live on Springwatch Unsprung, which was broadcast at 8.30pm BBC2 on the 12th June 2013.

'…few artists alive today have such skills at their fingertips, and not many have had in the past. This is what makes his achievement so exceptional and his paintings so full of life and light. And the extraordinary thing is that this light is nothing more than plain white paper.'
